I tried this on Gentoo. ec2-user@ip-172-31-8-83 ~/build/bash-5.0 $ cat x1 case "a-b" in *-*-*) echo "This is a BUG" ;; *) echo "This is not a BUG" ;; esac ec2-user@ip-172-31-8-83 ~/build/bash-5.0 $ ./bash ./x1 This is not a BUG ec2-user@ip-172-31-8-83 ~/build/bash-5.0 $ uname -a Linux ip-172-31-8-83.ec2.internal 4.9.76-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Mon Mar 5 06:42:49 UTC 2018 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2676 v3 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux ec2-user@ip-172-31-8-83 ~/build/bash-5.0 $ ./bash --version GNU bash, version 5.0.0(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
